State jail felons generally serve every day of their sentence. Time served for misdemeanors in Texas varies by county. In Harris County, misdemeanor defendants usually get two days credit for one day served. In counties with more crowded jails, a defendant may get three days credit for each day served.
Credit for Time Served is when a Judge gives a defendant who was in or is in jail, credit on their citation(s). Time served is not given automatically when released from jail; a Judge must approve it. You have to make the request for each citation and provide proof with each Court where you have outstanding warrants.
